Creative weekend...at home

Wow. I have been without internet access for about a week, okay...we'll say it's been VERY spotty...and then my phone had a malfunction and let me just tell you...

It was very REFRESHING. Quite liberating that I didn't have to check email, take calls and had no control to fix it for a period of time. Sorry if you're waiting to hear from me...I'm dealing with the backlog as I can.

I think I'm up and running now-- and my phone is behaving though I'm really hoping it will just die then I wouldn't have to justify wanting THIS! I think it's time...I really do...for me to have one. We'll see?

My little sister came on Friday and we had the best time. FUN FUN FUN! We sewed...(she quilted)

I had meant to get this done before Abby's birthday (making a dress and matching doll dress) but I didn't...however, when I spied this vintage sheet for a buck at a yard sale last Thursday...I was inspired. I thought the color would look gorgeous on Abby. My version of the pillow case dress, I guess...sheet dress! Used a super easy pattern for Abby's-- because I wasn't sure on cutting the armholes.

I made a dress for Sara too...need to get a pic of that one! So adorable!

Cash got new pjs. No pattern for the pants-- just used a pair of shorts to trace off the shape. And stitched one of the images onto a tee shirt for a fun set. HE LOVES them. Made him a Lightin' McQueen pair too!

Scott and the kids dug up the potatoes --we got a wagonful! Cash SO LOVES the tiny ones...

My zinnias are blooming...I may have mentioned these...I've nurtured them from seed and now that are coming along! LOVE this color!!!

I have a couple of squash plants in this bed too...and some tomatoes coming from seed! I even found a basil seedling when I was weeding yesterday! It's so fun to discover things like this.

Love the dreses and jammies! I can not believe how big Cash is getting! Growing like a weed. I love this time of year. It is lighter longer and there is so much to do. The flowers are amazing. I wouldn't be able to resist picking a few myself! ;-)
